Wanigan

A dynamic six-piece acoustic band bringing old
sounds to original songwriting and new sounds to old: close harmonies
backed by mandolin, fiddle, banjo, guitar, and bass.

Named for an important part of the annual
log drive that used to take place each year down the North Fork of the
Clearwater River, Wanigan has become known for its wealth of original
story songs inspired by local people and places.

The wanigan served as both sleeping quarters
and cookshack for the men who worked on the river risking their lives to
free the logs every spring. At the end of a long day on the river,
the wanigan was a place for food, music, and the company of good
friends.
